Banana Republic began as a safari outfitter founded in 1978 by Patricia and Mel Ziegler with its headquarters in San Francisco. In 1983 it was bought by The Gap and it operates as a division of Gap with more than 600 stores internationally. Mel Ziegler began as a writer and Patricia as an artist. They both considered Originality and Freedom Of Expression equally as important as making money when they first started Banana Republic. It was their intention to create a company that was completely unique and unlike any other. When Patricia and Mel first started Banana Republic they had little to no experience or background in retail, catalog marketing, direct marketing or the apparel business. They began learning by doing and started with the idea to find, clean up, and sell military surplus clothing In a brand-new context. They discovered that the clothes had much more intrinsic value than most people realized as they began to notice early on that the clothes they were getting at the surplus places were very well tailored, classic, and they were made to last with the finest fabrics. It is the military surplus that got Patricia and Mel started on their way to creating Banana Republic. They would eventually expand into their own line of finely tailored natural fabric casual clothing. Other creative people were hired and together with their imaginations they, Patricia and Mel would re-invent stores as theater and they would also re-invent catalogs as must- read literary adventure journals. Every step of the way they would shun convention in the hopes of making each of their stores completely unique and different. They promoted their business mostly by sending their clothing for review to some of the cultural heroes of the day back then and their comments would be published in a catalog. Patricia and Mel concentrated completely on designing clothes In defiance of the fashion industries tendencies of planned obsolescence. They were on a path of uncharted territory as they were doing things In a way that had never been done before.
